“A tough loss for us. I think you have to give all the credit to Coach [Quannas White], his staff and players. They made it hard for us on both ends,” Head Coach Terrence Johnson said. “We struggled to get into a rhythm and they had a lot to do with that. We’ll regroup and be ready for senior night on Friday.”
